Property assessment
We review the unit, its features, availability, condition and leasing requirements before recommending how it should enter the market.
Tenant Placement · Toronto & GTA
Tenant Placement for Toronto Landlords, Built Beyond the Lease.
We position the rental, market it, conduct showings, review applications, verify the file and coordinate the lease and move-in—then you can manage the property yourself or continue with LandLord’s full-service management team.
Before We List
The leasing strategy starts before the property goes live.
We begin with a complimentary rental assessment and local rental-market review. Our team evaluates the property, comparable rentals and current demand, then recommends an asking rent. The final listing price is always approved by the owner.
Rental market analysis
We review comparable rentals and current local activity to give the owner a market-backed rental recommendation rather than relying on a generic estimate.
Owner-approved pricing
We make the recommendation and explain the market context. You decide the final asking rent before the property is listed.
Tenant Search & Placement
From rental assessment to move-in.
The leasing file moves through one coordinated workflow: pricing, marketing, in-person showings, online application, verification, owner approval, lease drafting and move-in.
Property assessment & owner-approved pricing
We assess the property and local rental market, review comparable rentals and current demand, then recommend an asking rent. The owner makes the final decision on the listing price before marketing begins.
Complimentary rental assessment
Listing preparation & multi-platform marketing

In-person tour before application
Prospective tenants schedule an in-person tour with a LandLord leasing agent. We do not move directly from an online inquiry to an application—the property is viewed first, questions are answered and interested prospects are then given the next step to apply.
Online rental application
Interested applicants receive access to LandLord’s in-house online application workflow. Applicant information and supporting documents are collected in one organized file, with a dedicated application path available when a guarantor is required.
Screening, references & verification
We review the application, verify employment and income information, contact available rental and employment references, review rental history and check supporting documents for inconsistencies that require follow-up.
Owner approval & final credit verification
We present the qualified application file and our verification summary to the owner. You make the final approval decision—we do not place a tenant without the owner’s consent. After approval in principle, LandLord completes its own credit verification before the tenancy is finalized.
No tenant is placed without owner approval
Lease drafting, utilities & move-in
After final approval, we draft the lease agreement using the Ontario Standard Lease, coordinate signatures and required funds, help organize tenant-responsible utility changes, confirm move-in requirements, complete key handover and coordinate the move-in inspection and tenancy handoff.
Tenant Screening
Screening should be consistent, documented and defensible.
A strong leasing file is built from verification, not a single score. We review the information available in context, confirm what can be confirmed and organize the file so the owner can make an informed approval decision.
The owner retains final approval. LandLord does not place a tenant without the owner’s consent.
Rental history & references
We review rental history and contact available landlord references to verify the application file.
Employment & financial capacity
Employment and income information is verified and considered together with the rest of the application.
Document consistency checks
Supporting documents are reviewed for consistency, with follow-up where information requires clarification.
Final credit verification
After the owner approves the applicant in principle, LandLord completes its own credit verification before finalizing the tenancy.
Online Rental Application
A cleaner application workflow, built in-house.
After an in-person showing, interested prospects receive access to LandLord’s own online leasing portal. The application workflow keeps applicant information and supporting documents organized from intake through screening and owner review.
Each application is handled through a consistent digital process, and a dedicated guarantor application is available when needed. That means fewer manual handoffs, clearer files and a more efficient review workflow.

Why LandLord
We do not look at leasing as a one-and-done transaction.
LandLord has managed rental properties since 1995. That operating experience changes how we think about a lease-up: the goal is not simply to get a signature, but to start a tenancy with the property, paperwork and handoff organized properly.
Operations inform the lease-up.
Our leasing process is shaped by what property managers deal with after move-in: documentation, communication, building rules, maintenance access and tenancy records.
A team, not a single showing agent.
Leasing is handled within an established rental operation with dedicated people coordinating marketing, showings, applications and owner communication.
The owner keeps control.
We make recommendations, but the owner approves the listing price and the tenant. No placement moves forward without your consent.
The relationship can continue.
If your needs change, leasing can connect directly into property management, renovations and broader real estate support within the LandLord group.
Leasing FAQs
Tenant Placement Questions
The practical questions Toronto landlords usually ask before handing over a vacant unit.
What is included in LandLord’s tenant placement service?
The leasing-only service covers a complimentary property assessment and rental-market analysis, owner-approved pricing, listing preparation, multi-platform marketing, in-person showings, online application intake, screening and verification, owner approval, lease drafting, utility-change support, key handover and move-in coordination.
How much does tenant placement cost?
LandLord’s leasing-only tenant placement fee is one month’s rent plus HST.
Do I have to use LandLord for ongoing property management?
No. Leasing-only is available for owners who plan to self-manage after move-in. If you prefer ongoing support, the same lease-up can transition into LandLord’s full property management service.
How does LandLord screen prospective tenants?
We review rental history, available landlord and employment references, employment and income information, and supporting documents for consistency. The owner reviews the qualified file before LandLord completes its own final credit verification. Screening is applied consistently and in accordance with applicable Ontario law.
Does the owner approve the tenant?
Yes. The owner retains final approval of the tenant. LandLord reviews and verifies the application file and makes a recommendation, but we do not place a tenant or proceed to final lease execution without the owner’s consent.
How long does it take to lease a rental in Toronto?
Timing depends on the property, asking rent, condition, location, season and current renter demand. We focus first on positioning the unit correctly, then monitor inquiries and showing activity so the owner can respond to the market.
Do you prepare the Ontario Standard Lease and coordinate move-in?
Yes. After final approval, we draft the lease agreement using the Ontario Standard Lease, coordinate signatures and required funds, help organize tenant-responsible utility changes, confirm move-in requirements, coordinate keys and complete the move-in handoff and inspection process.
Do prospective tenants have to view the property before applying?
Yes. LandLord’s leasing workflow requires the prospective tenant to view the property in person before receiving the application link. Our leasing team conducts the showing and interested prospects can then move into the application process.
Where will my rental be advertised?
We use a multi-platform marketing strategy that can include MLS®, Kijiji, Zumper, PadMapper and other relevant rental channels. The channel mix is selected based on the property, location and current rental market.
Where does LandLord provide leasing services?
